Yesterday joim L)jzries stood indicted for administering x quantity of about drams of laudanum to William Harvey, with intent to cause a deep sleep to fall upon ilia, and to plum• der him while in that state. Mr. William Harvey, the prosecutor, a man apparently about 50 years old, with a countenance strongly marked with shrewdness and good nature, stated that he was a rope-maker, residing near Derby. On the 23d of the present month:he was walking.along Fetter-lane, when the prisoner came. up to him. and inquired the way to Hyde-park. IVitness supposing bins to be a stranger to London, and having nothing particular to do, offered to show him the way. Accordingly, they proceeded along the Strand into the Park, and thence witness took him to Tattersall's to see the horses there. In the course of this walk, the prisoner told him he had been only two days in bondon, that he was the son of an innkeeper at Chester. and had conic to town to receive a'large property, of- which . he tit that.time had COM about him. Witness told him that he did wrong to carry,so much money about him, and, utiviaed him to lodge it in the Bank. Ile added, that he (prosecutor) never carried much hioney -with him-; to be sure (chewing his purse) he had, he said, the ehange of three 51. notea, which he had received that morning at the Bank about him, but then he had not had an opportunity to go to his lodgings to leave the money there. On leaving Tattersall's they went into the Turf Tap, where they had two glasses of brandy and water each, and for which the prisoner insisted on paying, as a return for wit ness's kindness in shemng him about. From thance they pro ceeded to a public-house in Castle-street, Leicester-square, wit ness having on their way purchased a quantity of ham and beef for both of diem. They went into an up.stair room, and while the plates,. &c., were being got ready the prisoner went down stairs, and returned in about five minutes afterwards.-- Having dispatched their supper, he proposed that they should take a glass of grog each sad a pine, and asked what liquor witness preferred. " gin and water ;" but was.so pressed by the prisoner to take rum and water, as being better for him, that he consented so to do. Two glasses of rum and water were accordingly brought up, for which, with the ex. pence of the supper, witness then paid. A l.ttle time after he took up the glass which the prisoner had handed to him, and raised it to his lips but finding the taste to be very unpleasant, put it down after drinking a very small quantity. The prisoner pressed him repentedly . to drink it up, but he refused, and asked the prisoner to drink it for him, which he declined 'doing. They finally rose to go away, leaving the glass and its con tents standing on the table, and had got to the bottom of the stairs, when the landlady came up to them, and told them that' , they must not go away. Immediately after en officer came in, and took the prisoner into custody, on the charge which forms the substance of the present indictment. The prisoner was searched, but no bottle was found upon him. Witness went to Bow-street with the officer, and after giving his evidence, sata down in the office and fell asloep. He also felt very drossy and feverish during the greater part of the following day. On put. ling his bond into his coat pocket in the course of the next Morning, he found a phial, labelled " poison," and containing a small quantity of laudanum. He took it immediately to the public-house where he..had been with the prisoner, and there ,gave it up to the Mumble. CrOss-exarnined—lled been in London three weeks ; had vonne.up'on business ; bud been in London fifty times 'before ; had offered to accompany the prisoner out of kindness, thinking him to be a stranger to the place. . The assistant of Mr. Cousens, surgeon, in Castle-street, proved having sold the prisoner, on the evening in question, six drams of laudanum. The battle was labelled " poison." Thinks the bottle was the saute as that now produced. The pri. sorer was brought to him about an hour after the transactions, in custody, and was identified by him. Cross-examined by Mr. Batt ay--I take it the quantity you tepid him, was not enough to kill a. man ? CliAtßNAN.—Kill a man ! ay, there was enough to kill '2O men not used to taking Mr. quest,. a hifir-dresser, residing in Bear-streek stated, that he went into the , Sun and. Thirteen Cantons public house, in Castlestreet, on the evening in question, for the purpose of taking SUMO r e f res h ment . n. found-the *some, and the prosecutor sitting by the fire of an upstair room, smoking, their pipes. There,WAS no one else in the.room. Two full glasses of rum and water were standing on the table; •one of which, before he had been in the room a .minute,. he oh served the prisoner to take up, and hold under the table. while he poured something out of a phial into it, and afterwards push it over to the prosecutor, whom he invited to d r i n k o f i t . Wit. ness7e suspicion:, being excited that foul-playmas intended, he went down etairs, andd - acquainted Sirs. Harding, the landlady of the house, whoearnestly requested him to go for a constable, promising in the interim te: prevent the prisoner from leaving the house. Witnesi procured a constable, and brought him: to the house. • - • The constable deposed, that on taking the prisoner into custody he insisted on searching him. The prisoner replied, " If you mean to search we, you must pull off your coat, .end tuck up your shirt4leeves. ' After a little parleying, however, he consented to he searched; there was nothing of importance found upon him. By a Alegistrate.--You did not fwd 6001. •in his. pocket then ? Ai r itness.—No, ror 800 pence. Chairman.—Of course not, Mr. BannY, for the prisoner, addressed the, Jury. He was instructed that the prisoner had procured the laudanum for the purpose of giving to a mare to cure her of kicking. As to how the laudanum got Into the glass, and the bottle into the prosecutor's pocket, the Learned Counsel said nothing ; and we must therefore presume had 'received no instructions on thoke points. • - The Chairman summed up with great minuteness. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of guilty, but not with intent to kill. The Chairman explained that no such intent was laid in the indictment. A general verdict of guilty was then recorded. The. Chairman, after enlarging. on the enormity of the pri soner's guilt, sentenced - him to two years' iMprisonment and hard labour. DURATION of LIFP..—From the most accurate Life Annuity .Tables, it appears that the dura tion of life a century ago in England was only three-fourths of what it is at present. It also appenrs'that the life of a woman is vastly supe rior to that of a man, at every age above infancy. One fact is of a very surprising nature. It up. pears that . (1w waste of infant life among the poor of the m etropolis if most frightful. Out of every 1000 born, only 342 nre alive at the mother's next pregnancy. That is, scarcely , more than one-bslf survive nursing. NoTHING LIKE 131 , .1,1n PROVIDED.-- nere is norcounting for that whhnsical peculiarity of • taste, which so widely diversities the human cha racter. This is very apparent in the came of tt singular individual, who died in Sheffield, and was buried on Sunday morning last, at Dronlield. 13y trade he was a joiner, and during the last 16 years he had carefully preserved in his bed-roam the,coffin in which by desired to he interred. It was beautifully finished, entirely his own work, and made without the insertion of a single nail. By the regular application of hees•wax, turpen tine, and elbow-grease, he had succeeded, in giv ing a gloss to it far • exceeding the best polished pieee of furniture to be font d in 311 old maid'n dining mini. Attentive, however, as he was to MS own C 0114014 and wantQ,,lte. was not altoge ther unmindful of those around him, for about a month before his death, he completed a similar . lial)itatioo to the one he Laid prepared for him- for the reception of the remains of his better half. What a " 111 and considerate husband. POLICE I NTELLIG EN CE. GUILDHALL- James WeVe, the boy who had been in custody several days on suspicion of having committed numerous robberies in the vicinity of the Royal Exchange ' by entering at the gar ret-windows or trap-doo rs on the roof, was again brought be fore Mr. Alderman GAftnATT yesterday fur further exami nation. Mr. Haddeley, of Tom's Coffee-house; Air. Martin the hanker; and Mr. Bla n d, o f G arraway ' s, whose premises'have been broken into in the above manner, were in attendanee, as alio home persons who had on various occasions seen the young marauders going from roof to roof, hut as none of thew had Made particular observation of them, so as to be able to recog nise their persons, 9r at least as neither of the witnesses could positively identify the prisoner, the only case that remained to be pressed against the latter was that of stealing Mr. Had dun boots, which were found upon his penton when he had made kis way over the roof into the adjoinit4boose. The system of the young urchina ;atm' tes.tit'Ve been, .to walk into one of th e many houses to the iiimive neighbourhood let out as muntingeliouses, anti If they met any person on the stairs, to ask for some fictitious name. If they did not, to make their way through an attic window or tiap-door, and then a wide field was open to them, and if they looked into the win dow of a room where a person chanced to be, which has hap pened to them, their excuse was ready that they were in qu, of a stray pigeon, and this Always lulled suspicion. They seem systematically to have avoided robbing their houses of egress and regress, in order that the opportunity of committing future depredations might not be cut off; and in the'hope that the met.ns by which, they gained access' to the roofi from the street would not be discovered. Another over-the-roof robbery was committed in Cornhill on Thursday aftermion, it is slip posed, by the prisoner's associate, who escaped. r.

The coachman stated that he was takes) by the defendant &At to Betlford.square, and afterwards to Curzon-street, May-, tair, and he demanded 34., the distance exceeding two miles.— The defendant refused to pay more than 25., anti therefore he sumrnonod The defendant ftaiti he felt confident that the dietaries did not exceed two miles. The coachman said he knew it did very considerably. 111 r. said he had no means of ascertaining the clic. tans,:, but by ordering the ground to be measured by the sworn officer with his wheel.

The coachman apologised veryThmutily, and skid he would not have offended the gentleman ter the world, it' it had not been for the confounded drink.
